Re: Beatport Coupons

My best mate swears by Goa and has tried to get me over there. Not a chance.

His criteria of a good holiday is 50p a pint though, he has a regular bloke who gives him a cut-throat razor shave. He is such a good customer that said bloke chucks out anybody who is in the chair when he sees my mate. Bit harsh when he is mid-cut.

Wouldn't go near Goa again. proper shit pit. if you want to die of dysentery or something thats the place to go. Kerela however is where all the coined up Indians live (some of them had shoes), or the ones with holiday homes there anyway. Its clean and safe as houses and the beaches are mint and mainly deserted. food it top notch. My Mrs did a cookery course there and she still makes the stuff she learned to this day.

@Fad - Haven't seen the Rick Stein one, but I'll get on it. Really enjoyed Gordon Ramsey's Great Escape. Only been to Kerala once for a school field trip, had the time of my life. Awesome food (mainly coconut based), lots of history, nice beaches (though you'll have to trek to find them). It's a commie state too, which used to boast a 100% literacy rate. Beef chilli fry, egg masala, appams and stew (Dermo did you try this?) and the shit load of seafood is what you must try. Definitely do the backwater house boat trip as dermo has mentioned - his account was surprisingly accurate. Tons of friends have taken their women on this and it's worked a charm for their relationships. lol. Might be time for me to work one out with the missus.

@BigFella - 200 quid for a week in goa and live like a king? Umm. I guess it's how you would define king. I spend about 200 quid for a 4 day trip, staying at a 3 star hotel/beach shack. And that doesn't even include the food and drugs - a g of the happy stuff will cost your about $100. If you really want to live like a king in Goa, just do the 5 star-6 star hotels that are way off from all the hustle and bustle, the beaches are pristine and the service is on another level. Just got back from a weekend stay at the Hyatt and I felt like a king after, not a drug addled backpacker - that will cost you about 200 pounds a night, but in fairness it isn't the 'real' Goa experience.

@Dermo - Oh crap (literally), that sucks. If you ever visit India again, keep goa on the trip and I'll give you a reliable list of restaurants. Love going to Goa for the food. Where did you guys stay there?
